Day 2,390

Splashing water echoed against mold-smothered tiles as yet another teen went missing, dragged under the deep green fungus covering every pool, slide and shower head in the abandoned waterpark. No amount of signage, security guards or town-wide messages stopped people from trespassing, if anything it compelled more people to see exactly what was being hidden from them.

As the latest missing teen was in the process of discovering - it was mostly corpses. Their struggles against the unseen thing that had a sharp hold of their shin moved enough of the algae to reveal dozens of bloated, sightless faces all contorted in varying shades of suffocation and pain.

Adrenaline surged through them as they desperately kicked at the sharp grip and flailed their arms towards the side of the pool, desperately hoping that one of their friends would hear them and come back to help. The grip bore down and they realised it was a mouth, teeth breaking through skin and sinking into bone as agony seared through them, shocking them for just long enough that they could be dragged down.

By the time their absence was noted, the algae had settled once more and everything was still and silent.
